Description
Book SynopsisHappiness and wellbeing are often in conflict. In fact, the things that make for a full life typically involve a mix of emotions. If you seek only the pleasant ones, you'll end up with tranquillity, not happiness. Maybe that's what you want. No judgement. But I want more. And, given that you're reading this book, I suspect you do too.'Forget the oversimplified happiness hacks' true wellbeing is richer, more demanding, and collective. This groundbreaking book by renowned interdisciplinary scholar Dr. Mark Fabian dives deep into what true wellbeing means far beyond simple happiness. Beyond Happy brings together honest case studies, psychological research, personal experiences and ancient philosophy to change the way we think about happiness, and to illuminate how it can really be achieved. Tackling today's challenges, from cultural malaise to creeping nihilism, requires more than just feel-good fixes. Dr Mark Fabian redefines wellbeing as something we do together, weaving practical insights with bold ideas on how to build a culture beyond capitalism that places wholeness at its core. This isn't just another self-help book; it's a deep, refreshing take on how we can thrive as individuals and as communities.
